At one time BigTymeR\u2019s accomplishments made him the highest-earning Call of Duty player with over $400,000 in winnings and one of the faces of OpTic Gaming, even after he retired from playing. But in September 2019, changes at OpTic signaled it was time for BigTymeR to move on from the Greenwall and do his own thing. In a new video the former pro and coach talked about the changes coming to his YouTube channel, with a new focus on gaming. \u201cThe last nine months, I had an idea about the direction I wanted my channel to go, and it started great,\u201d he said. \u201cI started making more challenges, lifestyle videos\u2026 I still wanna upload those types of videos, I don\u2019t want to abandon them completely, but I\u2019ve come to the realization that I just can\u2019t stay consistent with that type of content.\u201d He also opened up about some of the challenges he\u2019d faced in 2019, which affected the amount of content he was able to put out on YouTube. \u201cI\u2019ve been in a mental rut for the last couple of months but I\u2019m trying to f*ck my way out of it,\u201d BigTymeR joked. \u201cThis is all to say, I\u2019m bringing back the gaming videos.\u201d \u201cI just want to become more consistent again,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere\u2019s no worse feeling than wanting to upload content and either like, not knowing what to upload or just, you kind know and you\u2019re not doing it.\u201d BigTymeR sticking to his word Since making the above video, BigTymeR has indeed uploaded several gaming videos of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Planet Zoo and more on his YouTube channel. With all the changes at OpTic and in professional Call of Duty in general during 2019 it\u2019s good to see one of the OG\u2019s of the sport sticking around with a plan for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BigTymeR opens up about the challenges he\u2019s faced over the last 9 months Retired from Call of Duty since 2014, Will \u201cBigTymeR\u201d Johnson\u2019s dominant playing career with OpTic earned him nine championships in five years, but now the former pro is looking past esports.
